I rescued Sage from a shelter the day before he was going to be euthanized. No one was interested in him because he was a "big" dog and had long hair. I instantly fell in love with him! He had always been an outside dog but he absolutely loved being in a house with a couch to curl up on. Sadly, Sage developed cancer and I had to put him down 2 years ago. I still look at this picture every day though and it brings a huge smile to my face and warmth to my heart!
